# DDS Python API

## Overview

**pydds** is a simple Python API for Vortex Lite and for OpenSplice.

This API supports:

- **IDL-based Topic Types**. In this case the equivalent python type 

  has to be defined using the appropriate ctype structure.

  

- **Python Objects**. Python objects can be used as Topic types, in this

  case the wire representation is that of flexy-types, meaning a 

  key/value pair.

  

Regardless of the kinds of type definition interoperability and instance management are maintained (see code examples).

## Installation

**pydds** depends on:

- [**jsonpikle**](https://github.com/jsonpickle/jsonpickle), please refer to the project page for installation informations.

- [**OpenSplice**](https://github.com/ADLINK-IST/opensplice), refer to the installation instructions to see how to get it set up.

Once the dependencies are intalled simply do (assuming your are running on Linux):

	$ cd dds-python

	$ ./configure.linux

	$ python3 setup.py install 

To test your installation do:

	$ python test_reader.py &

	$ python test_writer.py 

	

Equivalently you can test the flexy types by:

	$ python test_flexy_writer.py 

	$ python test_flexy_reader.py
